Just as the Democratic nominee.
He still has to win the general election and looks like cumbucket coumo is going to run against him as an independent to split the vote and hope that the Republican can manage to win.

Lol. Idiots don't even know how ranked choice works. You can't split the vote in an RCV campaign (spoiler effects still exist, but they're much harder to directly do like this)
Even the fucking polling is getting it wrong.
Nvm, shit FPTP for generals
Asafum 8 points a year ago
That's my mistake I thought only the primary was rcv but the general election wasn't.
This specifically mentioned primary and special elections, not general.

As far as I know only the primary uses ranked choice, not the general election?

Good on you for the edit though

They're losing their minds because there's no rational reason to keep the current system going...
It's impossible to keep it going at the current pace. Doesn't matter if the wealthy want it to last forever. They can't keep accumulating more and more finite and necessary resources.
Eventually the current economic system will go away.
Just a matter of how that happens, and who is (figuratively and maybe literally) left standing when the dust settles
givesomefucks 17 points a year ago
It's the same as any other group that manages to accumulate this much.
They just refuse to believe it's not sustainable, and if you don't agree with them. Then they fire you if you worked for them, if you were a politician they found a competitor to knock you out of office and say the lies they wanted to hear.
Which is the crux of the issue.
They've spent decades and billions of bribes to make sure there were two options, and both would do what billionaires tell them to. But the billionaires no longer control both parties.
Hell, they arguably don't control either, trump just usually agrees with them on his own.
Doc_Crankenstein 2 points a year ago
Lol the capitalist owning class absolutely still controls both parties, and Trump is performing exactly as expected for their interests.
You have one party that still wants to maintain the capitalist status quo, and the other who see that it is in decay and want to fast track the decline into fascism to entrench their power before the working class revolts.

I mean they could keep going until the last wild tree dies, the last fish chokes, and the last person gets to breathe for free. And then the whole system crashes, because there's literally nothing left to take.
I agree it's unsustainable, I just think that unless we do something to stop them, they will literally let us die by the billions, if it means they get to be in charge of the toxic landfill planet.
Doc_Crankenstein 4 points a year ago
No rational reason for the working class.
Thing is, the DNC doesn't represent the working class.
Just as well, the owning class who they do represent knows that the system won't last forever. They don't care about forever. They just care about "long enough to where I won't have to face consequences". That's what they are betting on.
Which is why it's up to the people they exploit to rise up and directly give the ruling class parasites some consequences.

I see the republicans losing their minds but I see a lot of democrats backing and endorsing him.

Lots of people are endorsing him.

Unfortunately it is also to be expected.

It was never free. That was a lie. When they say “free market” they mean “whoever has the most money can do whatever they want”.
To the Capitalist, “free market” means “freedom to oppress and prevent any and all competition”. It’s nothing more than Randian-tinged doublespeak.

True enough. American's have been given just enough at large to think of themselves as 'global elite', and so it's no surprise how many of us act a bit spoiled once we're faced more directly with the reality.
At the very least perhaps we'll get a wakeup call, for those who need it. I hope.

This is your friendly remind that one of the reasons for demonizing and subsequently genociding the natives was that people would regularly join them for a better quality of life.
The system knows it's terrible and the only way to maintain itself is to make, by any means necessary, all other systems unobtainable.
NigelFrobisher 4 points a year ago
Bloody hell. Can you not just run the election and then it’s done? It’s even worse than US football for making you wait forever for anything to happen.

There is this narrative people are pushing all over that the entire world is against Mamdani and that the DNC is on some crusade against him, and the people pushing it desperately want it to be true with all of their being despite 3 out of 83 of the democrat state legislators being the only ones to speak out against him.
But I only see people talking about how cool he is and how nice it will be to have him instead of Cuomo in charge for a change.
